Résumé:
"Alphabettes Soup: 2015–2025" celebrates a decade of feminist approaches to type research, design, and creative community-building. The book blends key articles from the Alphabettes platform with original essays, exploring intersections between culture, language, business practices, technology, and type. It also includes interviews with Alphabettes members, visual histories, and reflections on past and ongoing initiatives. More than an anthology, Alphabettes Soup is a dynamic collection of voices and stories. The book is conceived as a type specimen, showcasing over 100 typefaces designed by women and non-binary individuals. Aimed at challenging dominant narratives in type history and contemporary practice, Alphabettes Soup seeks to inspire future generations to create their own decentralized design communities.

Résumé:
From Roman times to the present, knowledge of plants and their cultivation have exerted a deep impact on cultural changes. This book highlights the religious, artistic, political, and economic consequences of horticultural pursuits. Far from a mere trade, horticulture profoundly affected Jewish and Persian mystical poetry and caused deep changes in Ottoman arts. It contributed to economic and political changes in Judea, Al Andalus, Japan, Yuan China, early modern Mexico, Europe, and the United States. This book explores the roles of peasants, botanists, horticulturists, nurserymen and gentlemen collectors in these developments, and concludes with a reflection on the future of horticulture in the present context of widespread environmental devastation and ecological uncertainty.

Résumé:
Architecture built for the purpose of living out a fantasy or for pure pleasure is multiplying at a breathtaking pace. The Mall of America, Dubai's The Palm, and Brandenburg's Tropical Island are all examples of architecture that do not fit into the traditional realm of buildings and function. Dream Worlds traces the idea of architecture and entertainment from its earliest incarnations, such as the Colosseum, to the late twentieth century, when examples of "architainment" have proliferated. It examines the post-modern desire for escapism and considers the future of this trend. Florian Holzherr's photographs capture each site as architectural structure, while complementary photographs by the author illustrate the sites in daily use.

Résumé:
Itsuro Yoshiba is one of the world's most talented architects and one of few not to be affected by the authoritarian attitudes that came out of the Japanese construction boom during the last half of the 20th Century. If we look in any of Yoshiba's works it is patently clear that he understands the city as an organism and accordingly his buildings are filled with vitality. They are flexible, in line with his philosophy that all buildings should allow for future modifications, and they create harmony with the surrounding natural environment. Works include: Ikegamisone Yayoi Museum, University of Osaka Conference Hall, Sun Palace Hirakata, Amagasaki Housing, Kema Housing, and more. Text in English / Korean

The 2008-09 version of UCLA A.UD's SUPRASTUDIO, MEGAVOIDS, has endeavored to bring two of the main issues facing cities today to the forefront of architectural study at UCLA: future urbanism and sustainability. Neil Denari with Chris Hostetter of Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) U.S.A. and their students present the results of their study here, played out as six projects for five extremely large unoccupied sites around the greater Los Angeles area. The projects presented ask questions about city form and how transportation and urban space can work in more synchronous ways. The publication includes essays by Neil Denari, Stephen Deters, Chris Hostetter, and Jeffrey Inaba along with a selection of MEGAVOID site photos by Los Angeles photographer Benny Chan.

Résumé:
Plants and architecture: two seemingly opposite elements. How can we combine them to plan future cities that are closer to nature? What synergies can we explore? Hortitecture seeks to discover the creative and construction potentials of vital plant material, and explores its applications in ecosystem services and urban food production. Through research at the intersections of architecture, biology and technology, IDAS (Institute for Design and Architectural Strategies) explores this topic with the aim of transferring the knowledge gained to the design of buildings. This book documents the projects, ideas and experiences shared by 33 international experts at symposia held at TU Braunschweig. Their critical reflections advance the awareness and expertise needed to develop a nature-based urban architecture.

Résumé:
In 2019 it will be the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. Prompted by this occasion, with "project bauhaus" ARCH+ has undertaken a critical appraisal of the Bauhaus ideas: working for several years, an international group of experts from a wide range of disciplines has investigated the socio-political relevance and emancipatory potential of the Bauhaus - historically, for today, and for the future. How can design still become effective as a political project? What are the possibilities and problems encountered by universal design in the age of globalization? Can the emancipatory potential of technology still be activated in a digitalized world? The answers to these questions are published here for the first time for an international readership.

Résumé:
'Prospecting Oceans' takes as its starting point an exhibition by the photographer and filmmaker Armin Linke, which was commissioned by TBA21–Academy, London, and first shown at the Institute of Marine Science (CNR-ISMAR) in Venice. Linke is concerned with making the invisible visible, and here he unmasks the technologies that enable extractions from the ocean, including future seabed mining for minerals and sampling of genetic data. But the book extends far beyond Linke's research, presenting the latest research from a variety of fields and employing art as the place where disciplines can converge. Integrating the work of artists with scientific, theoretical, and philosophical analysis, 'Prospecting Ocean' demonstrates that visual culture offers new and urgent perspectives on ecological crises.
